The Regional Land Booster program is a $116 million program to facilitate development-ready industrial, commercial and residential lots across Western Australia. As at 31 January 2024, 652 lots have been sold in 82 towns across all regions of Western Australia.
All lots created and sold are serviced with power and water to the requirements set by the Western Australian Planning Commission (WAPC) as part of the subdivision process. The provision of reticulated sewerage is dependent on availability within the town and environmental health factors.
The lots are sold to private purchasers, ready for the purchasers to commence the process of securing the relevant approvals for the construction of their dwelling through the local government. The State Government does not collect data on private dwellings commenced or under construction.
